<P align=justify><STRONG>Robert Greene, after 31 years of ownership, is proud
to announce the sale of BookPeople of Moscow to Carol Spurling, whose
millennial baby son was born November 11<SUP>th</SUP> at 11:30 PM and will be
turning eleven years old today, and Steffen Werner. Robert Greene will
maintain effective management of BookPeople until December 28<SUP>th</SUP>,
2011, eleven years to the date that BookPeople moved across the street to our
present location at 521 South Main Street. In the meantime, you should all
come in and buy a lot of books to take advantage of the great sales we have
going on – you can do your holiday shopping early and celebrate with great
glee and abandon. </STRONG></P>
<P align=justify></P>
<P align=justify><STRONG>Betsy Dickow will continue to work at BookPeople with
the new owners and manager, and she will continue to do book appraisals as
well. Betsy is looking forward to many more years of BookPeople but she will
only be working at the store part-time. Bob thanks her for her sixteen years
of support and hard work! </STRONG></P>
<P align=justify></P>
<P align=justify><STRONG>We’re going to let Carol Spurling, who will be the
new manager of BookPeople, speak for herself now, but first we’d like let the
friends and customers who have supported us these many years know how much
they’ve meant to us. Thank you for all your help!</STRONG></P>

<P align=justify><STRONG>Carol says, "Being an owner - or at least part-owner
- of a great independent bookstore has been my dream since I was very
young."</STRONG></P>
<P align=justify><STRONG>"Bookpeople is a beloved institution in Moscow and
the Northwest and we're honored to be entrusted with its care into the future.
Kudos to Bob, who has kept it going for so many years while many small
independent bookstores have struggled to survive. We want to preserve
everything that makes Bookpeople great and establish a good relationship with
its loyal customers, and of course look forward to putting our own stamp on
the store and bringing in lots of new customers as well."</STRONG></P>
<P align=justify><STRONG>"I just love to read and I look forward to sharing
that love with our customers, and helping to expand our strong community of
readers here on the Palouse."</STRONG></P>
<P align=justify><BR><STRONG>We’ll be leaving the store management position in
good hands - Carol Spurling has been a bookseller at Old Harbor Books in
Sitka, Alaska, and formerly managed Brused Books in Pullman for three years.
She is also a published freelance writer. Carol has a B.A. in English from
Central College, an M.A. in Literature from the University of Montana, and a
B.A. in French from the University of Idaho. She is currently the outreach and
ownership coordinator at the Moscow Food Co-op. She can be contacted at
208-669-0763.</STRONG></P>
<P align=justify></P>
<P align=justify><STRONG>Working at BookPeople is only as much fun as the
customers who come in on a daily basis to visit, and we’d like to tell
everyone again how much their business, support, and friendship has meant to
us in the last 31 years! We’re sending this announcement out on the auspicious
day of 11/11/11, at 11:11 AM, to welcome you all to the start of great new
beginnings for all parties! Thank you! Come and see us early and often!
</STRONG></P>
